Oh yea. I've got to replace that Bersa .380 I sold a while back. Boy that was dumb. 
Rebuying what I sold.

I know the emotion. I've been tempted to sell one particular gun & always back away, as it is the first gun I ever owned.
Then again, I've sold a few & I really don't regret it.
But I have to be honest - when I get to the point that the material objects in my life start to become so important that I fear losing them, it's time to get rid of them.
I've lost my father, my first marriage ended in divorce. I've been blessed with a 2nd marriage to a great woman who also gave me the opportunity to become a step-father to her daughter - an opportunity I didn't realize in my first marriage.
Those things are precious to me. If I need to sell a gun for some extra $$ to take care of them, or if I sell one off to get another, so be it.
It's a hard decision, but I find that sometimes I need to "take stock" & reprioritize. Besides, if I do get into a position that I can replace them, I get to hunt them again - & for me, that's a lot of the fun of ownership!
Oh - you asked about wanting to replace guns sold? I'd have to say no, not yet!

I have a couple that went over the years that I miss. And I would like to have them back, but it won't happen.
The ones I miss: Glock 34 and the USP 40.
I still have a love/ hate relationship with the 1911, and don't really miss those. Problem is, my next gun will be a 1911.

Over the last two years I've sold three guns, Rugers all: a P95, a P97 and an SP101. I've repurchased the P95 and the P97 and was about to repurchase the SP101, but I came across a CZ 75 P-01 and it took priority. I'll probably end up getting the SP101 later this year.

I always have one gun in my safe that is a queen. If I'm not using it I'll buy, sell or trade for something else that I will use, at least for the time being. I dont have any regrets.
Sold/traded guns
I've sold or traded:
S&W 39-2 9mm - Had to have a 3rd gen .40
Ruger Single Six .22 single action - too long to load/unload
Ruger .22 stainless standard auto - just didn't like it
Rem 870 express 12 ga - Got beat up by 12, got a 20ga instead
Marlin 25M .22Mag - .22Mag ammo expensive, terrible trigger
Guns I regretted selling:
S&W 39-2 - Much better trigger, lighter, easier to pack than 4006.
Rem 870 12ga - Can't find aftermarket stuff for 20 that I could for 12.
Traded or sold guns I've since replaced:
S&W 39-2 - It took me years to find another one in halfway decent shape.
In addition to the above, I accidentally destroyed my dad's old Rem 550 .22 autoloader. Stupid, stupid, STUPID on my part. :banghead: I found a later-model 550-1 to replace it, but it doesn't have the same provenance.
